Radiator Competition!
COMPETITION TIME!
Whoever links me to the cheapest NEW radiator (aluminium or factory) WINS!
There's no prize, just gratitude.
EDIT: An FTO radiator for the love of god

I found the image to be somewhat clever, but not hilarious.

Re: Radiator Competition!
So I still need a radiator... Can anyone recommend a decent place to buy a new one for my FTO? Aluminium ones are a bit expensive, looking for a replacement factory one.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Radiator Competition!
Tell me about it... I just had to put one in the Evo/GSR ... $800 from PWR...ObsidianRadio wrote:So I still need a radiator... Can anyone recommend a decent place to buy a new one for my FTO? Aluminium ones are a bit expensive, looking for a replacement factory one.

And a little thicker than the stock one.. So I have to redo my manifold piping...
I just had to add it ......

Re: Radiator Competition!
Yeah, there are a lot of cheap Asian brands that are out there... Some I have heard leak straight off the bat. Some are OK, and some sh*t themselves shortly after installed...
So not worth the risk... Given the amount I have thrown at the Engine (and the car), I don't want to save a couple of hundred and then screw up the engine using an inferior product. If it wasn't going on such a worked engine, I may take the risk ... But not in this case...
PWR and their warranty for me...

Re: Radiator Competition!
But you are just running a relatively stock FTO .. I am pushing out a fully rebuilt & forged 4cl, with Garrett GT30, HKS 272 cams, Tomei Adj Cam gears (to be installed) Full stand alone ECU, Haltech Coils, 750cc injectors, Hypertune intake manifold, Larger TB (Not sure if that was by Hypertune as well), twin TurboSmart 38mm External wastegates.. and probably a lot of stuff I am missing...silverGPX wrote:Mines fine
Not to forget that the car will be running more than 20psi comfortably, with me probably increasing it more.. And adding an E85 tune in, meaning an upgrade in injectors and a flex fuel adapter as well. So more powa!!!
I am sure you can understand my not wanting to risk blowing a radiator, and screwing up a block that has had so much done to it so far, and the amount of power the car should put out ... Hence why I say, I don't want to risk saving a couple of hundred bucks to risk all that has been done thus far...
